Refrigerated Pie Crust Mix




Source of Recipe


Ezine


Recipe Introduction


Keep a container of this mix in the refrigerator. It lasts for months, and makes a really easy and excellent pie crust.



List of Ingredients




6 C flour
1 T salt
4 t sugar
2-1/2 C solid vegetable shortening


Recipe



Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in the vegetable shortening until mixture is the consistency of coarse meal. Store in refrigerator in airtight container.

For pie crust, scoop out 2-1/2 C of the mix and combine it with 3-5 T cold water and 1 t lemon juice. Mix lightly with a fork, tossing the mixture, until it holds together when squeezed gently into a ball. Separate into two balls and roll out for double crust pie. Use 1-1/4 C of the mix, 2-3 T cold water and 1/2 t lemon juice for a single crust pie.
This makes enough for 3 double crust pies.
